Description
Digitalisation is transforming how utilities function and how water services are delivered. New technologies not only enable existing systems to operate more efficiently, but also make new service delivery models possible.
This webinar will examine how digitalisation is transforming the water sector and discuss how different stakeholders (inc. government & regulators, utilities, innovators, mobile operators and funders and donors) can accelerate digital adoption in the sector.
This session will be partly based on GSMA’s recently launched report “Scaling Digital Solutions in the Water Sector” which examines the experiences of two past Innovation Fund grantees, Wonderkid and CityTaps, whose journeys to scale hold lessons for all seeking to accelerate digitalisation.
Learning objectives
Following this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of scaling digital solutions in the water sector;
- Understand the different practical actions stakeholders can take to drive innovation in the sector;
- Use lessons learnt from case studies discussed during the webinar to accelerate digitalisation in the water sector.
